Queen & David Bowie - Cool Cat (Alternate Demo)

Alternative demo of Cool Cat recorded during the Under Pressure sessions in Montreux in 1981. This has recently been leaked so I've decided to put my copy up on here.

Great to finally hear a clear version. Seems like it was recorded from someone's mixing board via a device. Picks up a phone call/text towards the end.

Is there any way to record this before it gets pulled?

there are pages that you can put videos of you tube for mp3, one of these pages is yabeat

Can't be a text - this is several years too early. But I can see now why Bowie wasn't enthusiastic about this getting released.

Of course it is a text message. The owner of this recording was recording it to WAV and his old Nokia interferred with the process

OK, I get you @pittrek: I was thinking it crept in during the recording process.

Full lineage can be found in the download thread:

Except texting didn't exist back in those days. And I think cellphones back then only ran on an analogue radio signal :)

Bingo.

If you burned a CD back then next to a cell phone that rang, this is the end result.

Wow, I am so massively underwhelmed I might just fuck a chicken

blargh

Bowie was a total tool for refusing Queen from using his vocals on this track

this track was in this tape probably http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QUEEN-COOL-CAT-WITH-DAVID-BOWIE-MASTER-TAPE-REEL-TO-REEL-15IPS-Freddie-Mercury-/111000845866?pt=Music_Other_Formats&hash=item19d82a7e2a
